Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea

Love and appreciation filled the air at our Mother’s Day Cafe event, where families came together to celebrate the special bond between mothers and their loved ones. Guests were treated to heartwarming performances from Music in Mind and our school’s Sing and Sign Choir, adding to the festive atmosphere. Jaydan, our onsite Signalong tutor, was also present to provide guidance and information to parents, further enhancing the inclusivity of the event. Representatives from the Wigan Parents Forum were also on hand, offering valuable resources and support to attendees. These events not only provide parents with the opportunity to connect but also offer invaluable resources for their families. Looking forward to our next School Parents Association afternoon.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the individuals who dedicate their time and efforts to our School Parents Association. Vicki, whose role is enhanced by her previous experience running an Outreach service, brings invaluable expertise in supporting parents. Vickie and Amelia, esteemed members of our school staff, also contribute their passion and insight as not only members of staff but as parents with children currently attending our school.

Thank you to all who joined us for this heartwarming occasion!

Today, selected members of Oak 2 had the honour of representing our school at a sports event held at Howe Bridge. They had a fantastic time and exhibited exemplary behaviour throughout the day.
